SPU β†’ OSL

Which side of the plane to sit from Split Airport (Split) to Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

Choosing the left side grants front-row seats to the dramatic transition from the turquoise Adriatic to the snow-capped Austrian Alps and the lush Danish plains.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏰

Trogir & Split

Breathtaking views of the UNESCO-listed Trogir old town and the Split waterfront immediately after takeoff.

πŸ”οΈ

Hohe Tauern

Panoramic views of the Austrian Alps, including the majestic Grossglockner peak and surrounding glaciers.

πŸ™οΈ

Munich Skyline

A clear view of the Bavarian capital, including the Allianz Arena and the northern edge of the Alps.

πŸŒ‰

Storebælt Bridge

Potential view of the massive bridge connecting the Danish islands of Zealand and Funen.

🚒

Inner Oslofjord

Aerial perspective of the numerous islands and the western shoreline as the plane descends into Norway.

For the best lighting, book a morning flight. The sun will be on the opposite side, illuminating the Alps and the Danish coastline perfectly without glare. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes after takeoff for the highest Alpine peaks. During the winter, the snow-covered landscapes of Southern Norway are particularly striking on this side.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Velebit Mountains

The rugged limestone peaks of the Velebit range running parallel to the crystal-clear Croatian coast.

🏝️

Istrian Peninsula

A complete view of the heart-shaped peninsula and the historic coastal towns of Pula and Rovinj.

πŸ”οΈ

Julian Alps

The jagged peaks of Slovenia's highest mountains, including the iconic Mount Triglav.

🌊

Baltic Sea Coast

The long sandy stretches of the German and Danish Baltic coastlines before crossing into Scandinavia.

🌲

Norwegian Wilderness

Vast expanses of deep green forests and hidden lakes that define the landscape of eastern Norway.

The right side is superior for viewing the Croatian coastline during the initial climb. If flying in the late afternoon, this side will be shaded, which is better for photography. Look for the contrast between the white karst mountains and the deep blue Adriatic. On final approach to OSL, the right side often offers a better view of the expansive forest regions surrounding the airport.
